Technically you would be considered to be 4 weeks because they go by the first date of your last period.

There is nothing to worry about, it is good that you are able to get into a doctor that early, most people have to wait until much further in their pregnancy to see a doctor

Yeah, my regular family doctor is setting me up an appointment with an obgyn. She said that my first ultrasound will not be until 9-12 weeks. I was wondering she said that I will not see the heartbeat until 12 so what will i see at nine?

you won't see anything at 4 weeks so there's no point in having an u/s that early. the earliest you'll see something is probably a few days before 6 weeks.

to greeneyes, i don't know what your doctor was talking about, but you can see the heartbeat much sooner than 12 weeks. i think it can be seen by u/s around 7 weeks? maybe your doctor meant you wouldn't hear it with a doppler until 12 weeks, but even by doppler lots of people hear the heartbeat sooner (i heard my son's at 9 weeks).

good luck to both of you.

with my sister she had her first one at 5 weeks and you could not see anything but the sac. When she went 2 wks later when she was 7 wks you could actually see a tiny baby!

i had to go for one at six weeks. it was because i was having sharp, stabbing pains on one side and they thought it might be an ectopic pregnancy. it wasn't but there wasn't very much to see. it just looked like a microscopic shrimp on a string. lol.

I had an ultrasound at 5 weeks and they could not find even the sac. They werent sure I was even pregnant except for the fact that there was a lot of blood flow in one little spot in my uterus. LOL

I had an ultrasound at 7 wks and was able to see my little frog. I got to hear the heartbeat at 14 weeks. Im sure I could have heard the heartbeat sooner but thats when my appt was. Well congrats and Im glad things are going well.

The heartbeat is the coolest thing to!

I love pregnancy. The first half is basically development (seeing a 'baby', hearing the heartbeat, etc) and the second half is just WAITING for it to be big enough!!

Hey I just wanted to update! I am only 5 weeks today actually. They did an ultrasound at the doc appointment, just to see if I could hear the hearbeat( we thought i was almost 7 accourding to my period) but my period was off, and they only saw a sac and a speck which is apparently my baby lol. I go back on april 24 for the heart scan to see if I can see the heartbeat. They said there is nothiong to worry about, but I do because i though i was further.

But im staying calm and hopin for a heartbeat on the 24!..
